Zoo Dramatic Play

Dramatic Play and play-based learning is a great way for your preschool and kindergarten students to develop oral language skills, cooperation, content vocabulary and social skills.

Use this packet to set up an inviting Zoo Dramatic Play space in your imaginative play area. To save you time preparing signs, labels and printables for your imaginative play area, I’ve created a bunch ready for you to print, laminate and display. All you need to do is add some props!

Included in this packet:

• ‘Welcome to the Zoo’ sign
• 40 Animal labels
• Various signs for animal food, care, checklists
• Admission Prices sign including one blank version for filling in the prices with your own amounts!
• Zookeeper passes
• Admission Tickets
• Keeper Checklists including one blank
• Visual Animal Reports coloured as well as black and white, also includes one blank
• Written animal reports
• Animal Tags including one blank
• Large signs for different areas of your zoo (Reptile House, Rainforest, African Savannah, Australian Outback, Bird Aviary)
• Large Animal Experiences sign
• 8 x Animal Experiences signs with pricing including blank versions for filling in the prices with your own amounts!
• 4 x Danger/Warning signs

All labels and signs include both AUS and US spelling and vocabulary where applicable.

Your little learners will love extending their vocabulary as they role-play in your Zoo Dramatic Play. As they play, they’ll be developing their oral language skills, their vocabulary and how to problem solve as they play with their peers.

They’ll develop fine motor skills as they fill in the various animal reports and forms. Your preschoolers and kindergarten students will begin to recognise familiar words and extend their vocabulary as they engage with the signs and labels. There are several printables included to encourage pre-writers and early writers to have a go at writing!

There are so many opportunities for play-based learning with this pack of 52 pages of dramatic play fun ready to transform your Zoo Dramatic Play Center!
